Glad to see Orlin Norris settled the issue for us about what we were gonna do about the Froch vs Steve Collins situation. Those extra rounds allowed Froch to come on strong late as I knew he could and stop Johnny Nelson earning the most conclusive victory of our rivalry!

The 3rd fight between Huck and Qawi was definitely the highlight of their trilogy. 2 quick TKO's the first time, and an all out war the 3rd time.

I had planned to go through with the unification bout then drop the titles & fight Froch in week 40.

Those extra rounds allowed Froch to come on strong late as I knew he could and stop Johnny Nelson earning the most conclusive victory of our rivalry!

Yes indeed, no complaints there. I think that their styles blended well to make their fights tactical yet exciting bouts. After reading them I'm forced to conclude that Johnny does better over 12 rounders but Froch is the favourite when it comes do the 15 rounders.

Yep if my math is correct Nelson would've gotten a Split Decision win had the fight ended after the 12th. Definitely a good and competitive rivalry those two had. Every one of the 3 fights was competitive, and closely fought.
